Tom Chantrell

Another post by Deep Fried Movies, this time on Tom Chantrell - pretty sure most of us (if not all) have at least one of his posters in our collection.

From his iconic Star Wars poster to the Italian rip-off Star Crash, from Russ Meyer to Hammer and from Golden Age Hollywood to grindhouse era sexploitation, the late British artist Tom Chantrell painted nearly every type of movie poster imaginable during a career that spanned 50 years. He lent his talents to more than 7,000 designs, putting his brush to Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne.
